Hi Faiz,
Mplus is another accessible option for conducting SEM analyses, though
like R it is also syntax-based. The demo version, which can only
handle a limited number of variables, is free, but unfortunately the
full license is quite pricey (around $900 if I recall correctly). I
understand your preference for GUIs - I too find menu-based interaces
much easier to master (though Jonathan is right that syntax tends to
be more efficient over the long run), but to my knowledge there are no
accessible menu-based programs for SEM. Hope this helps!
